Actually is it the first WT win ever for the team?
It is, but to be fair; it's their first year as a WorldTeam.

Who let the dogs out?
They just didn't have the legsGenuinely shocking showing by the chasers. One of the most stupid chases in cycling I can remember

Another canine road runner.Dowsett wins in front of the dog, as we see it didn't in fact get run over.
Dog DSQ.
Deviated from its line.

There are usually more factors leading to that though. Maybe there is a strong teammate behind who you don't want to drag to the finish (I guess Brändle is actually one of the reasons they decided not to chase hard but not chasing because you are afraid of Brändle? That doesn't sound very smart to me either), maybe there is a really strong guy in the group who would easily win if everyone does the same workload. So often we've seen groups with Sagan getting attacked, Sagan then not wanting to do all the chasing, and the others not wanting to help Sagan.It has always been that way in cycling..... if you work to hard chasing, you compromise your own chances of winning.
It's why we regularly see attacks from 10 to 30 k working.
